Sacha Drake has long been my go-to designer when it comes to special occasion wear. The Brisbane designer just knows how to create timeless garments for women to suit all different shapes. She consistently produces collections that have the ability to make you feel comfortable AND glamorous. This is not an easy feat but if you find…

Oh HELLO Monday. I see you. I embrace you. And I bring you another instalment in the Model and Me series. Australia was dishing up some pretty diverse/crazy weather across the weekend. Around here we were teased with a hint of what’s to come in about five weeks … spring. Tops in the mid 20s.…

Oh hello there. I’m BACK. Thanks so very much to the gorgeous Rachel from Redcliffe Style for filling the Model and Me Monday slot here on Styling You while I was in Europe. I loved seeing her take on the designs featured – and I love seeing her #everydaystyle on Instagram each day (make sure you follow along…

Editor’s note: Please welcome today’s guest blogger: Rachel Wernicke from Redcliffe Style. While Nikki is away, Rachel is taking over the Model and Me posts to give us all a look at what some gorgeous fashion pieces look like on everyday women I love clothes … I love them a whole lot. The problem is that I don’t have…

By the time you read this – all going to plan – we will have landed in London. On the longest day of the year. Well the day with the longest daylight hours. I think this will either be conducive to getting over jet lag more quickly or keep us in some kind of time…

Can we all pause for a moment and remember a time when Wednesday nights were devoted to all things Nina Proudman? For those new to Styling You, Nina Proudman is/was a fictional character on the hit Australian TV series, Offspring. Right about this time of year we’d be in the thick of laughing out loud…

I know this Model and Me business is all about Mondays here on Styling You but given that Monday felt like Sunday and today – Tuesday – feels like Monday then I hope you’re all ok with us just going with the flow? I had THE best birthday weekend filled with family, relaxation and a…

I’m having so much fun with my cooler weather wardrobe. The layers were definitely out and happening across the weekend. (You can catch up with my outfits here, here, here and here). My favourite winter uniform is starting with good basics – a basic knit or long-sleeve top and a basic pant – and then…

It may be just a couple of weeks until winter officially kicks off but in Queensland our days are still on the mild side. If you could bottle the temperatures at this time of year, I would. Nights are doona-snuggling-worthy, days are warm and in the mid-to-high 20s and humidity is low. My hair is…

If you’re a mum, did you get spoilt rotten yesterday? I did. Beautiful presents and a champagne breakfast out. But you know what I did when I got home from said breakfast? No, I didn’t take to my bed for a nap like I thought I would. I did my winter wardrobe edit. {Here are…

It’s Mr SY’s birthday today. He’s very ok that he shares this day with International Star Wars Day (May the 4th be with you) but Monday is pretty much a dud day on which to celebrate another year on this planet, which is why we turned the whole weekend into a festival instead. On Saturday…

Ahhh, it’s good to go away but it’s good to be back. Thanks so much for travelling along with me during my week on Koh Samui (more about that on the blog Thursday) … today I’m kicking of the week with a Model and Me outfit I photographed while in Thailand. It’s from Adrift Clothing – a…

Sponsored by Blue Illusion I’m so excited to take my regular Model and Me posts up a notch again today with a new Movie Star and Me post featuring Blue Illusion ambassador Juliette Binoche. The award-winning actor epitomises all that is chic about French women and her work with French-inspired Blue Illusion on its autumn-winter…
